About this Item

Neuware -In semiconductors, free charge carriers such as electrons and holes can be confined in all three dimensions in nanometer sized regions called quantum dots (QDs). QDs are convenient tools to gain detailed insight into the single photon-single emitter interaction and they serve as optical probes to study semiconductor physics at the nanoscale. The spin state (spin-up or spin-down) of a trapped QD electron or QD hole is a promising candidate as a computational unit for quantum information processing (QIP), the application of quantum mechanics to information processing. QIP promises immense computational power and secure communication. This work focusses on the optical spectroscopy of single InGaAs QDs and it addresses major challenges of using QD spins for QIP.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Synopsis

In semiconductors, free charge carriers such as electrons and holes can be confined in all three dimensions in nanometer sized regions called quantum dots (QDs). QDs are convenient tools to gain detailed insight into the single photon-single emitter interaction and they serve as optical probes to study semiconductor physics at the nanoscale. The spin state (spin-up or spin-down) of a trapped QD electron or QD hole is a promising candidate as a computational unit for quantum information processing (QIP), the application of quantum mechanics to information processing. QIP promises immense computational power and secure communication. This work focusses on the optical spectroscopy of single InGaAs QDs and it addresses major challenges of using QD spins for QIP.
